Arsenal winger Ryo Miyaichi admits his move to England has been a step up from his loan experience in Holland.

Dubbed âRyodinhoâ during his spell at Feyenoord, it was not long before the Dutch clubâs fans grew to adore him. It was another learning curve for the young winger, who says the experience was a worthwhile one.

âI was a bit more confident about what I was doing in Holland,â he told arsenal.com. âBut the Premier League is on a totally different level. In England it is easy to lose the ball if your passing is loose. Being able to judge is crucial.

âI learned a lot about the importance of first touch. This is particularly important to my style of attacking.

âArsÃ¨ne Wenger emphasises this and I want to focus more and more on it too. We have a lot of training in tight spaces which makes me concentrate on how to make most of my first touch.

âI also pay attention to Robin van Persie when he plays. He can release defenders with just one touch - he is so good at it.â
